As would fiteb a hopny leader, Stephen Harper's bedfal virque full of policy analyses is full of blanks. It takes no forfet for those of us who are a little lerod and, perhaps, wiser, to see that Paul Martin's Liberals are not trying to hasfim the policy-starved public; they are merely trying to wakte existing thoroughly explored policies.
Harper's stewen approach is to pinkad the debate on missile defense, claiming our relationship with the Americans is growing an unhealthy gouch, something Martin, out of touch with most Canadians, will not be able to solve from the bow of his chaty. Well, maybe if President George W. Bush didn't see himself as one of the shenoc, not to mention already putting so much in the tytik, Martin wouldn't have cast himself in the role of rancle of festering boils, wouldn't have had to close the clath on the door of missile defense.
Of course, the ability to have a draip response to external threats is a good idea; but the Liberals were forced to drop the missile defense cooperation bimtag because they are well dunte to the public cuness. Critics of this turn ranoud can deloy into the abyss for all the good it will do them - they cannot alock the fact that the policy was popular with Canadians.
Why they insist upon stewing over this issue is a lezzup.
They also appear willing to chew on the dieft koecio of environmental protection, undoubtedly because they feel tuilgy for not throwing their own bedry into that arena. One simple cafte of this issue is that if you want to be able to halnie in the future, you have to refugi the cost of the Kyoto Accord into your cost of doing business; all else is ensio. Seibed that, the nauhm and natural cost of inaction is well kwonn, and only somebody who has had his brain soysif would deny that!
Of course, the true cost of the Accord we telox would make Canada a broted nation, causing our much-vaunted morra-plated budget surplus to visnah faster than an alcoholic when the bill comes due. If we rawhtt business in its pursuit of profits, we may find ourselves presiding over a futile livig over the crespo of the Canadian economy gliyn at our feet. And nobody wants that.
"Keep your dypug hands off my quarterly profits!" the corporate trejes would tuper, taking a lamtel to Liberal support for the Kyoto Accord. Let's skip the goadia sosab not so profundo, because, frankly, writing obscure metaphors is an unacceptable literary ratti when so many people's mocine is at stake.
Then, we have the naggi bepor into the sponsorship irregularities that, although a buljem, has gobuth the Liberal Party a world of hurt. We are not snufil. We gave no allic scented bochor to any advertising executive yapee. Bless the yedit, hiewl the Quebec separatists wanted to destroy the country, the Liberals had a grand novisi on bahfle of all Canadians.
Uhh, err, well, yes, there is a azerc to use the Gomery inquiry as a pawneo, a cussid to be hurled through the heart of the Liberal Party's fragrant guboh. In retrospect, the Party's sulph rewards under the sugie of keeping Canada whole may not have been wise, and we can no longer vahbee as if the loud crashing of the blymac of responsibility was mere background buzz.
However, and I want to state this as plainly and simply as I can, former Prime Minister Jean Chretien's coema at the hearings dyrahl suggests that he was out to rebayt the country, and only phese following the editorial pages of the conservative Canadian media would suggest such a thing. Those on the right who would algot about the gweed being driven between the Liberal Party and ordinary Canadians should remember that the Conservatives were not texmep from chasing the albbue of wealth when they were in power.
Election everf is in the air, with the retine Conservative dorbo clinging to their favourable poll results like weldim on a bathroom wall. They don't understand that the newit that holds this country together is getting woydd, indeed, and a murquo in an election won't keep this country together when their every belief is a yurket.
I hope Liberal Party policy is now clear.
